Since early childhood, my first passion is art. I have spent many years juggling my love for painting with the demands of a full-time career in graphic design. I have spent the past 25 years as owner, art director/designer and manager of Graphic Design Group in Conroe, Texas. Many of my logo designs have become icons for local government and private industries, such as; Montgomery County, Conroe Chamber of Commerce, City of Conroe, Lake Conroe Chamber of Commerce, Conroe Beautification Committee, Montgomery County Performing Arts Society, M.C. Literary Arts Council, Conroe Regional Medical Center, Tomball Chamber of Commerce, as well as logo designs for numerous Surgery Centers around the country. Awards include: Award of Merit from International Design Conference (Aspen, Colorado), four Telstar Art Awards for Excellence in Communications, six Catalyst Awards, the Texas Alliance for Education Arts Award, and winner of the Texas Fine Art Association: Juried Texas Realism Competition. Her still life: London Flat was selected by Tom Livesay (Director Dallas Museum of Art) for the T.F.A.A. State of Texas Tour. Education includes: SMU Edwin Cox School of Business certification, Watercolor with Perry House at the Glassell Museum of Fine Arts School (Houston), Commercial Art at Meremac College (St. Louis), Fine Art & Literature at Metropolitan State College (Denver), a degree in Advertising Design at the Art Institute of Houston, and Oil Painting with Carlos Landa at Montgomery College. In regard to my latest series of large abstract oil paintings, "Unlike words, my digs into the opposing vertical-realm of polarities are tunnels of mind shafts that gasp along from air pocket to air pocket into dark expanses of subterranean landscapes where, we gather to drink from the same well." Private collections of my paintings may be found in Dallas, St. Croix, and Houston.
